CELEBRATING HOLT WEEK

GOOD FRIDAY

WHY DOES THE SUN DANCE?

Easter Sunday will soon by here and on that day we celebrate the greatest feast of the Christian Church.

The date of the Resurrection is quite defi-nite. It took place during the Jewish Passover and for many years was commemorated at this time. It was not until 325 A.D. that the Council of Nicea made a rule that Easter Day should be celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after (or on) the Vernal Equinox, that Equinox considered to occur on March 21st. To the present time, the date of this great feast is governed by the Spring moon and can never be earlier than March 23rd or later than April 25th.

Some say the name Easter is associated with "Eas t re" a northern Goddess of Spring and the Dawn — others that it is derived from the word "os te r" , meaning to rise. The French word "Pacques" comes from the Hebrew "pesach" meaning Passover.

Did you know that Palm Sunday was once known as Fig Sunday? It was usual to eat Fig Pudding after dinner and on that day also, children were given little packets of figs and told to remember the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree while they ate them.

Good Friday, a day of penance and mourn-ing is an official holiday in most countries. This may have come about because so many people showed a reluctance to do normal work on this day, either f rom respect for religion or super-stitious fear of misfortune. It is hard to imagine that only 30 years ago, miners refused to go down pits, blacksmiths would not shoe a horse or work in any way with nails because nails were used to crucify Christ. A widespread belief — even today — says it is very unlucky to wash clothes or linen. On the other hand, keen gardeners plant potatoes and seeds because the soil is free from the power of Satan.

The happiest feature of Good Friday though is the eating of Hot Cross Buns. The deeply cut cross is thought to be a purely Christian em-blem, but it may be from pre-Christian times. Long ago, the buns were made at home by the housewives who rose early to have them ready for the Good Friday family breakfast. These buns were credited with curative and medical powers. If they were hardened in the oven, they never went mouldy, kept all year and protected the house from the ravages of fire. Sailors carried them in their pocket to prevent shipwreck.

For me, the magic of Easter begins on Easter eve. It is the time when we sit in the darkness of the Church, remembering the darkness of the

tomb where Christ lay. We wait in silence -seeing nothing. Then suddenly, there is a sound, the sound of flint striking against steel and a tiny spark pierces the blackness. A light is kindled, solemnly blessed and the Paschal Candle lit. Soon the Church is filled with the lighted candles of the congregation and we know the Light of Christ has once more come into the world.

Easter Sunday is a joyous and exciting day. It is the custom to wear new clothes — a whole outf i t , if you can afford it. Some country people say if you wear old clothes, bad luck will follow you. But don ' t despair — if there is no t much cash — a new hat, tie or scarf will suffice.

Then, of course, there are the eggs. Chocolate Easter Eggs date only f rom the end of the last century and are much loved by children and adults alike. Yet centuries before the Choco-late Egg appeared, real eggs, the symbol of new life, dominated the Spring Festival. Legend tells us that it was from the World Egg that the divine Sun Bird was hatched — another that the first egg was made from the two halves that formed Heaven and Earth.

In Christian times and during the long fast of Lent, eggs were forbidden but on Easter Day they appeared on the breakfast table and were eaten with relish. Many of these were painted in bright colours, red being the most popular.

One of the oldest beliefs still remembered in Ireland is that when the Sun rises on Easter morning — the sun dances. We are told the great gold circle swings round and round like a wheel, changing colour as it turns green, purple, red, white and gold, dancing, they say, in thanks-giving for the glorious Resurrection of the Saviour' Eileen Casey

GREENFINGERS by Don Ryan

Now the magic of Spring is unfolding, with the soil starting to live, and the long days giving birth to a mantle of myriad colour.

However, the work tends to increase in direct ratio with the developing flora, and this is the month for doing most of it.

The lawn is often sadly neglected, despite the fact that a little effort can improve it. A good lawn feed applied now will pay dividends. Most feeds state the actual coverage on the bags, so it is a good idea to measure your garden before buying.

When applying dressing like this over a large area it is easy to either miss out completely or overdo sections. Try running two strings parallel the full length of the garden and one yard apart. Work your way down this channel and on completion move the first string to form the next channel and repeat the exercise. This may seem time consuming, but it is the only way to tackle a large expanse of ground.

Feeding the lawn now will result in strong healthy growth of the grass and will keep the weeds down.

A general fertiliser should be applied to shrubs and trees. Rose bushes should be pruned and a rose dressing applied to the base of each. A cursory inspection of your shrubs should now be undertaken, with any damaged or unwanted branches removed.

March is, of course, the month for planting. Bare rooted trees are inexpensive and readily available, and almost every garden has a small corner which will accommodate such a specimen.

Visit your local nurseries and take a look at the range and quality of trees and shrubs available.

In conclusion, the .mild weather has accelerated grass growth and most people have now had a first mowing. This early cutting is important as it encour-ages renewed growth by letting both light and air into the grass roots. If you have not yet exercised your mower, try to do so before the end of March.

THE LORD IS TRULY RISEN, PRAISE THE LORD . . .

In a tone of "fares please", there was a middle-aged ward attendant moving among the pa-tients asking, "How many slices of bread do you want for your tea"? She was carrying a bread container. There was a slightly embar-rassed pause as my patient friend replied, almost apologetically, " two please". The two slices were duly dispensed, and our friend passed on among the other patients. We know of the necessary cut backs, but there must be a better way . . . The incident reminded one that life can be, and often is, very basic.

Borrowing from Belloc: common living is surely a burden. We no sooner finish one week, with it's daily chores, ups and downs, than Monday morning looms large again, with its uphill battle, struggling to survive, to cope. So once more, diff icult family, economic crises, only the Lord knows, ill health, injustice, ingratitude - not to mention perhaps the more sordid sides of our lives, sad to contemplate — doubts, emptiness, uncertainties, early morning grouch, too hot, too cold: " I open the door and the flies fly in. I shut the door and I'm sweating again . . . " It goes on, cruelty to people, cruelty to animals . . . and always the weather a la Ire-land, with its "nine months of winter and three months of bad weather"!

What's the point, does anyone care? It may be obvious to point out the Lord, our Shep-herd cares, but then, do we not often overlook the obvious? So we pray with the Psalmist: "For I am beset with evils, too many to be counted. My sins have fallen upon me. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart sinks. As for me wretched and poor, the Lord thinks of me. You are my rescuer, my help, O God, do not delay".

Even the surviving itself, in the day to day struggle, generates confidence, hope and elevates . . . Lent, Passion, Death, Resurrection. Resurrection is not a remote event, an impos-sible dream; it is very much a gut feeling, our living, our being. And this should not be sur-prising, for was it not God "who created my being, knit me together in my mother's womb". And Springtime, nature is perfectly in tune . . . crocuses, snow drops, daffodils, primroses and the exquisite little lambs . . . "Be not afraid. I go before you always. Come follow me, and I wil l give you rest. . . "

OUR READERS WRITE . . . Dear Editor,

/ have had occasion recently to bring my daughters to various classes in the Parish Centre and / have been appalled at the condition of same. The Parish Centre is absolutely filthy. / fail to understand how anyone could hold classes or meetings in such conditions.

Surely the people who avail of this facility and make some money from same and who pay a nominal charge should pay maintenance. At the rate it is faling into disrepair, it will only be usable for a very short time before it falls down altogether.

/ really dislike having my children take classes in such bad conditions and / am very surprised that the teachers etc. could work in such dirt. Could they not get together and dean up their act?

Yours etc.

(Name & address with Editor)

Dear Editor, As a regular attendant at the 10 o'clock Children's Mass and an admirer of the excellent gospel drama I can't help but wonder "where have all the young boys gone". Moses, Abraham and even Jesus himself are all acted by girls. / cast my eyes over to the childrens choir and here again / see nearly all girls.

Are there no budding Redfords, Newmans or Waynes in the Community. Come on boys, you can't sick back and let the girls take over. Can you? Yours sincerely, (name & Address with Editor)

Dear Editor,

Those of our readers using the Knocklyon Ave. entrance will be all too familiar with the dreadful state of the open space to the right hand side. This space was and continues to be, the subject of a legal wrangle between Dublin Co. Co. and a building firm. Dublin Co. Co. will not maintain this open space until this wrangle is sorted out and God only knows when that will be.

Over the past few years cutting of the grass has been funded from a house to house collection (£1) and in addition two (yes! two) local residents have kept the Knocklyon Woods sign and its immediate environs regularly maintained at their own expense. We need to share this responsibility.

Could / appeal therefore to all owners of power mowers to turn out sometime during week begin-ning 21/3/88 and at regular intervals throughout the summer and cut an area of grass no matter how small. For those people with no power mowers a contribu-tion of £1 to the house to house collection which will be organised later in the year, would be appreciated.

Yours sincerely, (Name & Address with Editor)

THINGS CULINARY

Fish Mousse to finish Sgt. Hackett's Recipe.

This is a rather di f f icul t dish to get right, so it is im-portant to fol low the instructions carefully.

When I say fol low the recipe as close as you can, there is always the problem the f lour ot the butter or eggs or even the main ingredient can vary in quality or in freshness or in some way upset the balance of the recipe. It is only wi th practice that you wil l get the feel of the recipe and the food and know where you may have to make slight changes to make the dish work. I wi l l be abroad for a few weeks so if you are in trouble you wil l not be able to use the 'Knocklyon Culinary Hotline' for assistance.

INGREDIENTS: 1 /8th pt. water 1 lb. minced Whiting — fry the whit ing 1 oz butter just to get used to the mixture 2 oz flour 2 egg whites 1 large egg V2 pt cream, very cold

Seasoning

METHOD: Boil the 1 /8th pint water and 1 oz Butter and imme-diately mix in and beat the 2 oz f lour. Beat for a few minutes away from the heat and when the mixture has cooled a litt le, beat in the egg.

Add this mixture to the well minced fish and the two egg whites and beat very well again. Put in the fridge to chill very well. The mixture should be very firm at this stage.

When ice cold, beat in the cream up to the point where if you add any more it wi l l be too sloppy to handle - that's a di f f icul t one to cope wi th ! Season well with salt and pepper; mould with a spoon and your hand and poach gently for just a few minutes. Serve beside the fish dish we gave you in the Febru-ary issue of the Newsletter.

with Michael Coleman and Sean O'Reilly SCHOOL TOUR

On Saturday 27th February at 10.45 a.m. we boarded the plane, and two hours later we landed in Frankfurt Airport . A bus took us to Heidelberg where we were shown the ruins of a magnificent German castle before we were driven to our hostel.

On Sunday we went to Freiburg for 10 o'clock Mass which was in German. After Mass we started off for Switzerland. On the way we saw beautiful scenery, and had lunch in a Swiss McDonalds! When we reached our destination we checked into the hotel which is on the outskirts of Interlaken. On Monday we went into Interlaken and to Grindlewald. There we went on the largest cable car route in Europe. The view from the top of the mountain was breathtaking. That night we went ice-skating. Most of us were speeding around the ice rink, but Mr. Gearty just couldn't get the hang of it, and spent most of the time on all fours, or worse!

On Tuesday 1st March we visited the beautiful French speaking town of Chateau D'eux and spent some time sight-seeing in Interlaken. That night after dinner we had a concert. Our dramas may not have been Academy Award standard but we had great fun, and Mr. Kelly gave out prizes.

On Wednesday 2nd we got the bus to Zurich Air-port, for the journey home. Even though we had a great t ime we were all glad to see our parents again. The tour was a great success, thanks to the prepara-t ion and hard work put into it by Mr. Pat Kelly, Mr. John Gearty and Miss Elaine Coburn.
